I wish I could afford to run my car on V-Power. But then I'm not rich.........:rolleyes:

Mike, If I did the miles you do then its a no brainer, plus the LPG station isn't really in a convenient place. That's for me personally but for others it makes sense.

Put your postcode into petrolprices.com. You'll be surprised how many LPG stations there are. The motorway sytem is loaded with them. Every Calor and Flogas depot has them. When I need the extra power I lean slightly forward and press a small button. When I need more I press the nitrous button (uses LPG) and fly past the average 911 turbo! Muhahahahahaha :eek:

petrolprices.com have got an excellent app out now called petrolprices pro which uses your current location to search within a radius that you choose and on the fuel you need to tell you where the cheapest station is for your chosen fuel.

It's £2.99 for the app but I figure youll save that pretty quickly if youre all over the place regulalrly and dont know where the nearest cheap filling station is . . .+++

I did think about getting a gas kit fitted, that was untill I worked out how much I would save against the cost of fitting a good kit.
I would need to keep the car for 2+ years to make the money back, being honest, I dont think that I'd keep the car that long.
I'm not saying anything against it, I just dont keep cars for long is all.

Mind you, the way the price of fuel is going I may well just keep my 1.0 Polo that I have for sale :mad:

instead of getting lpg fitted i just bought a small car.for my local trips to the shops and trips to the kids football training then i drive my 1.25 fiesta +++ saves me a small fortune and no kids in the s8 full of mud.
